PHD's NEW Series BST Fixed Head Transfer Arm Designed for Stretch Blow Mold Applications and Provide Long Life
The Plastic Packaging Components (PPC) Group, a division of PHD Inc., announces the release of its NEW Series BST Fixed Head Transfer Arm. Series BST Fixed Head Transfer Arms are specifically designed as a direct replacement to fit most Sidel® Series1 machines requiring a fixed head. BST Transfer Arms provide significantly longer service life and reduce both maintenance and downtime in stretch blow mold applications.
The BST Transfer Arm head and jaws are made of hardened stainless steel to provide maximum life and durability. The 30° head offers a low profile design, with a more rigid design in all head styles that significantly reduces jaw vibration. All units come standard with FDA approved lubrication for use in food packaging applications.
A common modular head design is used on all fixed head units and can be easily converted to other jaw openings. BST Transfer Arms are also lighter in overall weight than other available arms. Units are easily and quickly field repairable, which enables you to maximize your Transfer Arm's life and investment.
